Dotnet Coverage Mcp Tools (8)
GetSourceFiles
Discover `.cs` files from a file, folder, or `.csproj` project. Returns file metadata (lines, method count) and smart batches grouped by `lineBudget`.
RunTestsWithCoverage
Run `dotnet test` with XPlat Code Coverage, generate a JSON summary via `reportgenerator`. Returns paths to `Summary.json` and `coverage.cobertura.xml`. Supports `forceRestore` and `sessionId` for concurrent isolation.
GetCoverageSummary
Parse `Summary.json` into structured class/method coverage data sorted worst-first by branch coverage. Optional `belowTarget`/`topN`/`methodsPerClass` filters trim the response to what still needs work.
GetFileCoverage
Get coverage for a single source file from Cobertura XML. Returns `allMeetTarget` (true when all classes meet the configured `targetRate` for both line and branch coverage; default 0.8). Supports `sessionId`.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Ai Netcafe is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. In contrast, Dotnet Coverage Mcp belongs to Developer Tools using local stdio subprocess. Select Ai Netcafe when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and Dotnet Coverage Mcp when you require tools for developer tools.
Find uncovered branch conditions for methods matching a given name. Returns all matching methods with partial name support. Supports `sessionId`.
GetCoverageDiff
Compare current Cobertura XML against baseline. Shows method-level changes including new and removed methods. Supports `sessionId` for concurrent isolation.
AppendTestCode
Insert or append C# test code into a test file. Supports anchor-based insertion with whitespace-tolerant fallback matching. Uses atomic writes to prevent file corruption.
CleanupSession
Remove session state files and `TestResults/coveragereport` directories. Pass `sessionId` to scope, or omit to clean artifacts older than `maxAgeMinutes` (default 120).
